Cotton  King  disk  harrow  with  gangs 
set  for  use  as  a  regular  disk  harrow 


Cotton  King  Disk  Harrow 

The  economy  of  using  a  reversible  gang  disk  harrow  in  tilling  our  southern  farms  lies  in  its  great  utility. 
It  answers  so  many  purposes  so  exceptionally  well  that  no  iarm  should  lack  one. 

More  than  likely  you  have  a  neld  that  has  been  well  cultivated,  and  is  so  loose  as  not  to  require  plowing 
before  planting  the  second  crop,  or  the  soil  of  some  field  may  be  loose  and  sandy  and  does  not  need  to  be 
plowed  to  make  a  good  seed  bed  for  grain  or  other  crops.  Then  the  disk  harrow  is  just  the  tool  to  use 
for  stirring  up  the  ground  before  sowing.    Single  disking  maybe  sufficient,  but  it  is  usually  best  to  lap  half. 

If  gram,  cowpeas,  soy  beans  or 
other  seed  is  to  be  broadcasted,  there 
IS  nothing  better,  in  the  absence 
of  the  drill,  than  the  disk  harrow  for 
covering  the  seed.  This  may  be  done 
on  plowed  ground  or  when  disking  the 
second  time  on  loose  soil. 

The  cutting  action  of  the  disk 
harrow  makes  it  an  excellent  tool  to 
use  after  the  stalk  cutter  for  cutting 
corn  and  cotton  stalks  into  smaller  bits. 
It  will  cut  up  trash  and  manure  so  that 
the  soil  will  lay  compact  when  plowed 
and  not  dry  out  so  readily. 


Making  a  cotton  seed  bed  with  the  Cotton  Kinu  disl<  harrow

Gangs  arranged  for 
out-throw    and    ex- 
tended to  the  ends 
of  the  frame 

As  a  weeder  before  sowing,  there  is  no  equal  to  the  disk  harrow.  It  up-roots  and  turns  under 
weeds,  leaving  a  clean  seed  bed  for  the  crop  that  is  to  be  planted. 

Cloddy  plowing  should  always  be  cut  up  with  a  disk  harrow  to  make  a  good  seed  bed.  This  will 
fill  in  the  large  air  spaces  in  the  top  of  the  furrow  which  permit  the  ground  to  dry  out  quickly.  If  disked 
before  plowing,  the  bottom  of  the  furrow  will  also  be  compact,  and  moisture  from  below  will  be  carried 
into  the  top  sou  by  the  same  process  through  which  a  sponge  becomes  wet  above  the  surface  of  water 
with  which  it  may  come  in  contact. 

When  cotton  ridges  are  to  be  made,  the  gangs  are  set  for  in-throw,  with  space  enough  between  to 
properly  ridge  the  ground.  The  inner  ends  of  the  gangs  should  be  slightly  higher  than  the  outer  ends. 
With  the  Cotton  King  thus  arranged,  cotton  ridges  can  be  thrown  up  quickly  and  in  better  shape  than  by 
the  old,  hand  method,  requiring  many  men. 

When  it  becomes  necessary  to  cultivate  the  cotton,  dirt  can  be  thrown  toward  or  away  from  the 
plants  and  the  field  leveled  for  the  next  crop.  Tall  cotton  can  be  cultivated  by  using  the  extension 
standards,  which  may  be  purchased  with  the   harrow  or  added   at  any   time.      The   Cotton   King  is   also 

an  excellent  corn   cultivator.      It  may __^_ 

be  equipped  with  shields  for  use  in 
young  corn,  and  with  the  extension 
standards  for  cultivating  larger  corn. 
It  serves  the  purpose  of  a  hiller  for  use 
in  cultivating  peanuts  or  potatoes. 

The  Cotton  King  is  further  useful 
in  filling  dead  furrows,  leveling  back  fur- 
rows and  lister  ridges,  making  and  clean- 
ing out  irrigation  ditches  or  filling  them. 

This  great  variety  ot  work,  to 
which  the  reversible  gang  disk  harrow 
is  particularly  adapted,  commends  the 
Cotton  King  to  the  southern  planter 
and  farmer  as  the  most  valuable  tillage 
tool  he  can  own.

Main   Frame 

1  ne  Lotton  King  main  frame  is  Duilt  ot  angle  steel.  Two  angle  bars  extend  across  the  rear  ana  meet 
the  ends  of  tne  front  section,  where  they  are  hot-riveted.  They  form  a  long  slot  through  which  the  gang 
castings  are  bolted  and  can  be  adjusted.  The  frame  is  strengthened  by  the  steel  pole  angles  across  the 
center.     These  pole  angles  take  either  a  wood  pole  or  the  disk  harrow  forecarriage. 


Adjustments 

Each  gang  is  pivoted  m  an    adjustable    ganj    casting.     This    makes    it    reversible   with   the  added 

feature  of  raising  the  inner  ends  of  the  gangs  or 
lowering  them.  When  the  gangs  are  to  be  extended, 
the  bolts  are  loosened  and  the  gang  castings  pushed 
to  the  desired  position.  In  tightening  the  bolts, 
whatever  tilt  is  desired  may  be  given  the  gangs. 
When  reversing  the  gangs,  the  set-lever  bars 
are  removed,  tbe  gangs  turned  around,  and  the 
bars  replaced. 

The  draft  links  connect  the  front  of  tbe  frame 
with  the  center  of  the  gangs.  This  makes  the 
draft  direct  at  whatever  position  tbe  gangs  are  set 
along  the  frame. 

The  set-levers  are  convenient  to   the  driver 

no    matter  how   tbe   gangs   are   set.     The   seat   is 

adjustable  on  the  seat  spring,  making  it  possible  to 

The  Cotton  King  used  in  cultivating  com  balance  the  harrow  with  drivers  of  different  weight.

Gangs 

Heavy  bar  steel  Is  used  to  form  the  gang  frames.     These  are  solidly  bolted  together,  making  the 
gangs  rigid    to  withstand  work   in   hard  ground.     The   disks   are  assembled 
on  a  large,  square  arbor  bolt  which  passes  through  bearings  between  the  disks. 
This  distributes  the  strain  to  several  bearings,  reducing  the  wear  on  each. 
The  large  nut  on  the   end   of  the   arbor  bolt  is  turned   up  tight,  then  locked 

in  place.     The  holes  through  the  disks 

are  square  so  none  can  turn  on  the  bolt. 

Bearings 

The  bearings  are  made  up  of  a  large 
bearing  spool  turning  in  an  oil-soaked, 
hardwood  bushing.  The  greater  wear 
comes  on  the  upper  half  of  this  bushing 
When  worn,  it  may  be  exchanged  with 
the  lower  half.  The  hardwood  bush- 
ings are  inexpensive  to  renew. 

Oil  pipes  enter  the  top  of  each  bear- 
ing at  the  center.  This  places  the  oil 
where  the  whole  bearing  is  readily  lubri- 
cated. Theoil  pipes  reach  tothetopof  the 
gang  frame  where  dirt  will  not  fall  into 
them  when  oiling.  Steel  pins  in  the  top  ot 
the  oil  pipes  prevent  dust  from  entering.

The  Cotton  King  Used  as  a  Cultivator 

For  smothering  weeds  between  the  rows  no  cultivator  can  be  said  to  excel  the  Cotton  King  disk 
harrow.  Weeds  and  grass  are  cut  o{{  and  turned  over  with  roots  towards  the  sun.  The  rows  are  hilled, 
or  not,  according  to  how  the  gangs  are  set.  When  hilling,  only  mellow,  pulverized  dirt  is  thrown  around 
the  plants.  The  amount  of  dirt  thrown  can  be  regulated  by  the  set-levers  or  gangs  set  at  dinerent  posi- 
tions along  the  frame. 

Extension  Standards 

For  cultivating  tall  crops  the  extention  standards,  as  shown  in  the  illustration  above,  will  be  furnished 
on  special  order.      These  standards  are   curved   steel   bars  which   hold   the  frame  high   enough   above  the 

ground  so  that  tall  corn   and   cotton  may  be  cultivated   without  damage  to 
the  tops  of  plants. 

Shields 

For  cultivating  plants  when  they  are  small,  shields   may  be  used  on  the 
Cotton  King  disk  harrow  to  prevent  dirt  being  thrown  upon  them.     These 
hields  are  easily  attached  and  are  large   enough  to   fully   protect  the  plants. 
They   are  furnished   on   special   order   at   additional   cost. 

Scrapers 

Tlio  scrapers,  as  shown  in  the  illustration  above,  are  furnished 
on  special  order  only.     These  scrapers  are  necessary  in  some  kinds

Forecarriage  for  Cotton  King  Disk  Harrow 


Nearly  all  fields  are  so  rough  as  to  cause  the  disk 
harrow  to  draw  unsteadily  and  the  tongue  to  whip  and 
worry  the  horses,  giving  them  sore  shoulders  during 
early  spring  work.  It  is  to  free  the  horses  of  this  action 
of  the  tongue  and  varying  draft  of  the  disk  harrow 
that  this  forecarriage  is  being  purchased  with  most  of 
the  disk  harrows  sold,  or  for  disk  harrows  already  in 
field  use.  It  keeps  the  harrow  running  smoothly  and 
in  line,  and  makes  it  easier  to  work  into  corners  and 
close  to  fences. 


Forecarriage  with  pole  and  set-over  irons,  showing 
positions  for  two  or  three  horses 


Used   with  or  without  a  Pole 

The  forecarriage  is  used  with  or  without  a  pole.  A  pole  is  essential 
only  in  very  hilly  sections  of  the  country  when  driving  to  or  from  fields. 
It  is  regularly  equipped  with  pole  plates  for  two  horses  when  a  tongue  is 
ordered.  Set-over  irons  for  three  horses  are  special  pole  equipment.  When 
a  pole  with  set-over  irons  is  used  it  may  be  set  in  the  center  for  two  horses, 
or  to  the  right  or  left  for  three  horses.  The  wheels  turn  completely  under 
the  stub  tongue  to  make  a  short  turn. 

Adjusting  the  Forecarriage  to  the  Harrow 
and  Team 

The  disk  harrow  forecarriage  should  be  adjusted  to  simply  carry  the 
front  end  of  the  barrow  and  keep  it  working  in  line  without  adding  to  the 
The  forecarriage  is  swiveled  in  the  draft  of  the  implement.  The  stub  touguc  and  the  draft  connection  are

a  range  of  up-and-down  adjustment,  thus  the  forecarriage  is  suited  to  use 
with  any  size  team.  The  clevis  is  so  attached  to  the  draft  connection  as  to  hold  the  whiffletrees  off  the 
ground  and  the  horses  heels.  To  give  flexibility  to  the  action  of  the  fore- 
carriage,   the  vertical   shaft  is   swiveled   in  the   axle. 

Axle  Bearings 

The  axle  bearings  are  dust  proof  and  equipped  with  hard  oilers.  When 
given  proper  attention,  bard  oil  is  the  best  lubricant  for  this  kind  of  bearing. 
Forcing  the  new  grease  m  keeps  the  bearings  clean.  The  stub  axles  are  cast 
in  the  wheel  bubs  with  the  spoke.  The  inner  ends  of  the  axles  are  keyed 
with  take-up  washers  to   conpensate  for  wear.
